Question

examples of expansions and limitations of presidential powers
choose the president and the role he used to expand the powers of the presidency.
a. franklin d. roosevelt as chief executive
b. teddy roosevelt as commander in chief
c. george w. bush as commander in chief
d. harry s. truman as chief legislator

Explanation:

Franklin D. Roosevelt, as chief executive, expanded presidential powers through his New Deal programs during the Great Depression. These programs involved significant executive - branch initiatives to address economic crises, which went beyond traditional executive roles. Teddy Roosevelt as commander - in - chief (while he did assert some powers) did not have the same level of expansion of the presidency in the context of domestic policy and executive power as F.D.R. George W. Bush as commander - in - chief had actions related to war on terror, but it was more about military and security - related power (not the broad - based expansion of the presidency in the same way as F.D.R.'s domestic - facing chief - executive role). Harry S. Truman as chief legislator had some legislative initiatives, but not the same scale of expansion of the presidency as F.D.R.'s use of the chief - executive role.

Answer:

A. Franklin D. Roosevelt as chief executive
